Amphenol ICC 87606-302 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87606-302 is a 4-position receptacle connector from the Dubox™ series, designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole mounting. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts with solder termination, suitable for automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and general-purpose applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 87606-302 is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (4), mating pitch (0.100"), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.100"), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), and contact finish specifications (gold mating, tin post).

Two substitute parts are identified:

87606-302LF - Direct equivalent from the same Dubox™ series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant versus non-compliant). Packaging is bulk format.

98424-G52-08ALF - Alternative from the Minitek® 2.00mm series. This part differs fundamentally in connector type (header versus receptacle), contact type (male pin versus female socket), number of positions (8 versus 4), mating pitch (0.079" versus 0.100"), and mounting type (surface mount versus through hole). This part does not meet the core substitution criteria for direct replacement.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

87606-302LF is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 87606-302. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Dubox™ series. The 87606-302LF offers the advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new designs and applications with RoHS requirements. Inventory availability is higher for the 87606-302LF (1002 units versus 691 units).

98424-G52-08ALF is not a direct substitute. While manufactured by the same supplier and sharing UL94 V-0 flammability rating, this part operates on fundamentally different specifications: it is a header (not receptacle), uses male pins (not female sockets), accommodates 8 positions (not 4), operates at 0.079" pitch (not 0.100"), and requires surface-mount installation (not through-hole). This part cannot replace the 87606-302 in existing board designs without significant PCB redesign and connector interface changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 87606-302LF directly replace 87606-302 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 87606-302LF maintains identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and termination method. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance level. No PCB or assembly modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between 87606-302 and 87606-302LF?

A: The 87606-302 is RoHS non-compliant, while 87606-302LF is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, 87606-302LF is the appropriate selection. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Q: Why is 98424-G52-08ALF listed as a substitute if it has different specifications?

A: The 98424-G52-08ALF is listed in the original part's substitute field but does not meet direct substitution criteria. It differs in connector type, contact gender, position count, pitch, and mounting method. This part is suitable only for applications requiring an 8-position surface-mount header at 0.079" pitch, not for 87606-302 replacement.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute parts?

A: The 87606-302LF is available in bulk packaging. The 98424-G52-08ALF is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical rating differences between the main part and 87606-302LF?

A: No electrical ratings (current or voltage) are specified for either the 87606-302 or 87606-302LF in the provided data. Both parts share identical material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), contact materials (phosphor bronze), and contact finish specifications. Operating temperature is not specified for either part.
